I just got Thomas Brook's book "Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices" from Amazon. Woot!

"Remember the speeches we have spoken so often over our mead, when we raised boast on the bench, heroes in the hall, about hard fighting. Now may the man who is bold prove that he is."-Aelfwine at the Battle of Maldon

Ben,

Erin just finished reading my copy, and now Christine is reading it. You will benefit greatly from Brooks!

"To believe in the power of man in the work of regeneration is the great heresy of Rome, and from that error has come the ruin of the Church. Conversion proceeds from the grace of God alone, and the system which ascribes it partly to man and partly to God is worse than Pelagianism" (The Reformation in England (London, 1962), Vol. 1, p. 98)

Great book and so rich I always found you could not read more than a few pages at a time as there was just so much in it and so many quotable quotes. I read it about 20 years ago and reread it again last year.

Anything by Brooks is tremendous and well worth a read. If you can get hold of his 6 vol works then grab them. Even reading the index is appetising.

If you read the Puritan Paperbacks you can count on a great increased devotion to our Lord deep within your soul! I have many of them and have experienced great blessings from such wonderful reading!
Owens, The Mortification of Sin is really good as is his Apostasy from the Gospel
The Bruised Reed by Richard Sibbes and The Doctrine of Repentance by Thomas Watson are also great. Prayer by John Bunyan is good as well.
As you read one then buy another and collect them! There is no better reading by the puritans!
You are beginning with one of the best! Enjoy!

Your will, Lord Jesus Christ! Nothing more... nothing less... nothing else.

Precious Remedies is a book that I think every believer should own! It truly is an amazing work, and you won't be disappointed!

"A man's most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions." -T. Brooks

Is that where you got the quote for your signature?

The quote is by Brooks... it's from another book on Prayer titled "The Privy Key of Heaven" also known as "A Discourse of Closet Prayer". I highly recommend this book as well!

Precious Remedies is one of the best Puritan Paperbacks! Good choice!

Congrats Ben! I too really appreciate the "Puritan Paperbacks." I haven't read this one, but I am adding it to my list.
